| Will AS9115 require a separate ICOP registration? |
|
No. AS9115 is not an ICOP registered standard, nor are AS9115 approvals recognized in OASIS.
AS9115 approvals are performed by Boeing software auditors (2nd party audits). |

| Is AS 9115 approval considered a standalone approval? |
|
No. AS9115 must be used with AS9100 since AS9115 is only a supplement to AS9100. Both must be used
to conduct software approval audits. Hence AS9115 approval requires that the supplier be prior approved to
AS9100 via ICOP. Boeing then audits to AS9100 and AS 9115 as a coordinated pair. AS 9115 follows the
same clauses as 9100 but provides greater granularity and specificity for some clauses to ensure the objectives
of AS9100 are met for software. It is possible that the supplier may have received ICOP approval for hardware
implementation of one or more clauses that may not be compliant for software. For example, the ICOP audit
may find the supplier compliant for clause 5.3 for Management Representative, but Boeing may find the supplier
not compliant for software. |

| Can an ICOP auditor perform AS9115 audits? |
|
No, because there is currently no IAQG approved software auditor qualification program nor is there
any recognition of 9115 approval in OASIS. Boeing software auditors are specifically trained and
authorized to audit to 9115. |
